Vice President of the United States Donald Trumpwho is again a candidate for the White House, confirmed this Saturday (05/11/2024) through his Truth Social network that his Republican rival, who was the US ambassador to the UN. Nikki Haleyis not one of the people being considered for the post of vice president.
“Nikki Haley is not being considered for the role of vice president,” said the Republican candidate, cutting off speculation in this regard. “But I wish him the best of luck!” he said. The choice of Haley, who Trump has long nicknamed “birdbrain,” an insult that literally translates to “bird brain,” would be surprising.
However, the former governor of South Carolina is very popular among moderate and independent Republican voters, who are voting for the president and Trump’s rival. Joe Biden the Republican candidate could take it out. Trump’s entourage, consulted by the AFP agency, refused to give details about the candidate’s preferred profile.
Several names are circulating
“Anyone who says they know who or when President Trump will pick his vice president is lying,” said one of his advisers. “If that person’s name is not Donald Trump .” The news site Axios was the one who said that Trump would consider Haley’s name to join him in a new term in the White House, as long as he was sure that she could help him to win an election.
Despite everything, there are many predictions about who the septuagenarian candidate will name as his running mate for the November presidential elections. Among the most circulated names are Senators Marco Rubio, Tim Scott and JD Vance, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and New York legislator Elise Stefanik.
